I'm a bit surprised at some of the ride quality comments.

I was surprised how well a G30 530d xDrive on 20" wheels and M-sport suspension coped on typical broken roads, where I've been very critical of BMW on any RFT wheel combination over the years.

Not so smooth as my F11 on 18" RFTs with Adaptive Drive. Then I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I know the rear air suspension helps a little in the F11, over the worst of surfaces, but with 20" run-flat shod wheels and passive M-sport suspension? Shows how BMW have moved the game on for sure.

My concern... are we still seeing some wheel-tyre combinations don't work as well as others? And it may not just be the biggest rims and lowest profiles at fault.
